Morning everyone, I’m thinking of changing my Dressage saddle from a Fairfax to a Stidefree Dressage Saddle has anyone got any comments or advice about the Stridefree saddles ? Thanks Cruiser

One of the lads has a stride free exercise saddle and I can't say I am a fan of it though quite a few yards are using them now. Sorry! Not much help on the dressage saddle front!

Onlt learned about these recently. They are expensive but a few folks on my new yard have them and really like them.

These are unreal. I have both the jumping and dressage Stridefree Saddles.

Started with the jumping stridefree and instantly my horse stopped pulling like a train when jumping. She suddenly became calm, relaxed and light and moved so much better.

I was a massive skeptic, after all I already had a quality well fitted jumping saddle. Only trialled the stridefree as my friend was banging on about it.

I have since bought the dressage saddle as well. I’m a very average rider and my horse is going so much better. I certainly haven’t Improved my skills that much so I am putting it down to horse being more comfortable in the saddles.

I didnt perceive them as being expensive. They replaced saddles of similar value that are fairly common brands.
